“…The calculated lattice parameter a = 8.6338 Å is lower than that of the previously reported lattice parameter of similar double perovskitetype compound Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 (a = 11.430 Å) 59 due to the difference of atomic radius between I and Br as well as using different calculation parameters. However, the negative value of formation energy (DE f = −2.66 eV per atom) calculated by the following equation (eqn (7)) conrms the thermodynamic stability of optimized Cs 2 AgBiI 6 . 73…”

CsPbI 3 has recently received tremendous attention as a possible absorber of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, CsPbI 3 -based PSCs have yet to achieve the high performance of the hybrid PSCs. In this work, we performed a density functional theory (DFT) study using the Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) code for the cubic CsPbI 3 absorber to compare and evaluate its structural, electronic, and optical properties. The calculated electronic band gap ( E g ) using the GGA-PBE approach of CASTEP was 1.483 eV for this CsPbI 3 absorber. Moreover, the computed density of states (DOS) exhibited the dominant contribution from the Pb-5d orbital, and most charges also accumulated for the Pb atom as seen from the electronic charge density map. Fermi surface calculation showed multiband character, and optical properties were computed to investigate the optical response of CsPbI 3 . Furthermore, we used IGZO, SnO 2 , WS 2 , CeO 2 , PCBM, TiO 2 , ZnO, and C 60 as the electron transport layers (ETLs) and Cu 2 O, CuSCN, CuSbS 2 , Spiro-MeOTAD, V 2 O 5 , CBTS, CFTS, P3HT, PEDOT:PSS, NiO, CuO, and CuI as the hole transport layers (HTLs) to identify the best HTL/CsPbI 3 /ETL combinations using the SCAPS-1D solar cell simulation software. Among 96 device structures, the best-optimized device structure, ITO/TiO 2 /CsPbI 3 /CBTS/Au, was identified, which exhibited an efficiency of 17.9%. The effect of the absorber and ETL thickness, series resistance, shunt resistance, and operating temperature was also evaluated for the six best devices along with their corresponding generation rate, recombination rate, capacitance–voltage, current density–voltage, and quantum efficiency characteristics. The obtained results from SCAPS-1D were also compared with wxAMPS simulation results.

“…As a result of the Industrial Revolution and technological advancements, the globe requires alternative energy sources to supply the ever-increasing demand for energy [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. In addition, With the rapid depletion of fossil fuel resources and the negative impact of fossil fuel combustion on our environments [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ], scientists have turned their attention to other renewable sources, such as electrochemical hydrogen devices based on proton-conducting materials [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Proton conductors typically have positively charged protonic species, such as H + , H 3 O + , and NH 4 + [ 12 , 13 ].…”

In the future, when fossil fuels are exhausted, alternative energy sources will be essential for everyday needs. Hydrogen-based energy can play a vital role in this aspect. This energy is green, clean, and renewable. Electrochemical hydrogen devices have been used extensively in nuclear power plants to manage hydrogen-based renewable fuel. Doped zirconate materials are commonly used as an electrolyte in these electrochemical devices. These materials have excellent physical stability and high proton transport numbers, which make them suitable for multiple applications. Doping enhances the physical and electronic properties of zirconate materials and makes them ideal for practical applications. This review highlights the applications of zirconate-based proton-conducting materials in electrochemical cells, particularly in tritium monitors, tritium recovery, hydrogen sensors, and hydrogen pump systems. The central section of this review summarizes recent investigations and provides a comprehensive insight into the various doping schemes, experimental setup, instrumentation, optimum operating conditions, morphology, composition, and performance of zirconate electrolyte materials. In addition, different challenges that are hindering zirconate materials from achieving their full potential in electrochemical hydrogen devices are discussed. Finally, this paper lays out a few pathways for aspirants who wish to undertake research in this field.
